Where can buy a Galaxy S6 with unlocked bootloader and no service plan? Yes I realize thats $700-$900 based on model and yes that is within my budget.
Monthly payments preferred, but I can also do cash up front.

As the Title Says:
Can you buy a Career Subsidized Phone & Unlock it ?
I live in India, and we don't get Career Subsidies, so I had a Question,
Can I Import a Subsidized Phone & Unlock it, Here in India and Use it for a Lot Less Price.
For Example an iPhone 5S can cost up to $649 but you can buy a Career Subsidy one for $199
If Yes, Please also tell Your Experience with it.
By Unlocking I mean Unlocking by Buying Unlock Codes and Applying them
Hey guys,
SO, here is my story. I had a SGS3, but the screen cracked, so I decided to use the money from the rebate to try out an iphone 5. I am unhappy with my iphone after using it for about a year and I would like to change phone asap. I am currently a verizon user and have time left on my contract. I would like to change carriers to straight talk so that I am no longer locked into a contract. I know that T-mobile is offering to pay of ETF's if you switch to their service, so I was planning to try the following. I understand this may not be the most morally right thing to do but it would make me the happiest and save the most money.
1. Switch my number over to an old flip phone (t-mobile requires you to turn in your current phone for market value and buy one of their phones, in order to pay of the ETF)
2. Sell my used iPhone 5 on Swappa (would generate more $ than the $200 t-mobile is offering for it)
3. trade in my old flip phone and have t-mobile pay off ETF of verizon, purchase a t-mobile phone of any value.
4. Sign up for 1 month of a t-mobile plan (as required by the current promo offer to pay off the ETF).
5. Sell the t-mobile phone, unopened, at the price I bought it for, and purchase an unlocked nexus 5 from swappa (using $ from iPhone 5 sale).
6. Sign up for straight talks $45/month plan under AT&T service (I do not get good service from t-mobile or this would not be an issue).
7. pay for 1 month on t-mobile service then cancel t-mobile and only pay for straight talk.
Overall, depending on the sale and purchase price of the phones, i hope that this transaction would only cost me <$100.
iPhone 5 Sale - ~~$400
t-mobile phone - buy and sell for same price
Nexus 5 on swappa - [~~$350 - $400]
pay for one month of unused t-mobile plan - [$30] (cheapest plan available).
Begin straight talk - sim card [$10]
Total - ~~$40
Does this plan seem to make sense? If not does anyone know what I could possibly due to avoid paying $200 in ETF from verizon but still switch to straight talk under AT&T service and get a Nexus 5 instead of an iphone 5?? Thanks!
retail or contract
Verizon full retail $900 for the 128gb s6 edge
Verizon two-year contract $500 (after $50 mail-in rebate)
is the $400 difference worth the contract?
id be doing the payment plan if i do the $900 ($37.49 a month)
chances are ill prbly want the S7 next year.
FYI, please note the sticky posted in General:
DO NOT post questions In the General Section
Wrong section,
But it all depends on your current plan. Is it the same as the one you'll changing to? If so, get the 2 year contract.
Is the new plan significantly worse than your current plan for the price? Buy it outright.
Can't afford to buy the phone outright and you're planning to switch phones for the next generation?
Don't buy a new phone. You likely don't need it anyway.

once i sell my phone ill pay off the s6, but i wanna wait till after i get the s6 to sell itade of a neither one is worse than the other. im just confused on the point of a 2yr "discount" if its still $550.
ive arldy gone from an s5 to a note 4 and now to the S6 (prbly shouldnt be getting a sammy tho my s5 gave me slow internet and my note 4 is rly laggy) heres hoping sammy gives me a phone that works.
I'm grandfathered into a sprint unlimited plan which is no credit check meaning no contract and I only pay $50 a month and the thing is I went to the store to see if I can upgrade but they said I can but I'd have to get a new account and pay wayy more since the promotion I have is no longer available, now my question is can I buy an s7 and unlock it and put my s5 sim card into this s7? Does it even work that way? Because I also was considering on buying flagship killer but idk how that works, like when the phone arrives do I just put my sprint sim into it? Thanks in advance!
I am thinking about purchasing an SM-G930V through NewEgg from Santa Monica Wireless. The price is very good $499 new and no contract. I don't intend to root it immediately. Verizon offers an S7 phone, but they don't specify the exact model, for $199 with contract. I have an unlimited data plan and a 20% discount on service through my employer so the 2 year contract is not an issue. That may be a better deal if it is the same phone. I have a couple of questions:
Is the G930V just set up to run on Verizon out of the box or is this the same phone that I would get if I purchased directly from Verizon?
I am assuming either phone will have the Verizon bloatware installed. Am I correct?
The ad for the G930V (from NewEgg) says GSM is unlocked. Is that correct? Is GSM also unlocked if I buy the phone directly from Verizon? It doesn't specifically state on the Verizon web page. Unlocking anything seems way out of character for Verizon.
NewEgg says that it will work on ATT/T-Mobile after the APN is set up. Is this true for either phone? Again this seems out of character for a Verizon.
Will the software updates come from Samsung or Verizon?
The phone I really want is the everything unlocked. no bloatware G930U but it is just too expensive.
Thanks for any help provided.
